World Cinema and the Essay Film explores the ways in which essay film practices are employed by non-Western filmmakers in diverse local and national contexts within our interconnected world. It recognizes the essay film as a potent political and ethical tool for reflecting upon and potentially challenging the multifaceted and often conflicting consequences of globalization. Through case studies of essayistic works by figures such as John Akomfrah, Nguyen Trinh Thi, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, as well as a photo-essay by Trinh T. Min-ha and a discussion of Frances Calvert's work, the book expands upon existing research on the essay film, going beyond canonical filmmakers and frameworks to offer transnational perspectives on a practice that is rapidly becoming a global phenomenon.
